Last Word Madikwe ★★★★

"Мой второй визит в последнее слово Madikwe и он всегда поставляет. Это место является скрытым драгоценным камнем в частном игровом резерве Madikwe. С момента вашего прибытия, приветствие чувствует себя как дома. Все сотрудники всегда приветствуют, дружелюбны и счастливы помочь с чем угодно. Здесь еда абсолютно вкусная, вы, конечно, не будете голодать со всеми приятными блюдами, которые есть у шеф-поваров в магазине. На этот раз я остался в семейной вилле. Я путешествовал с другом из работы и ее семьей. Изобилие комнат, 3 номера в номере, все прекрасно оборудованы всеми, что вам нужно во время вашего пребывания. Наша гид Сэм (Фемело) была отличной. Мы имели отличные зрелища с ним во время нашего пребывания. Как северные, так и южные гордости льва, дикие собаки, черно-белые рогатые носороги, африканские дикие кошки, гиена (коричневая и заметная) поркупин, много слонов, зебра, антелопа, Жираффе, мы видели 9 из 10 чеет в заповеднике, что невероятно!! В том числе 5 мальчиков Асии, которых я видел в прошлом году, прежде чем их мать была печально убита гиены. Вся команда здесь заставляет вас чувствовать себя дома, это красивый дом, с красивыми людьми, и место, которое я буду продолжать посещать. Спасибо еще раз за то, что заботились о нас, вы все удивительны!!! Увидимся в следующий раз! Xx"

Tau Game Lodge ★★★★★

"Какое прекрасное место для проживания! Из номера открывался вид на водопой, что позволяло наблюдать за множеством животных еще до начала сафари. Номера были прекрасно оборудованы, с приподнятой террасой, идеально подходящей для отдыха и наблюдения за окружающим миром. Весь персонал был превосходным и внимательным к деталям. Конечно же, изюминкой стали сафари-поездки. Наш водитель Герман был очень опытным и знающим. Он точно знал, куда ехать, чтобы увидеть животных в лучшем виде (даже африканских диких собак). Это было незабываемо. Идеальное место для проживания в Мадикве!"

Rhulani Safari Lodge ★★★★

"We had an incredible stay. An amazing experience. Lodges and communal areas are great. Food is excellent, dining settings are magical. I cannot say enough about all the staff, fabulous service from all, they go above and beyond!"

Impodimo Game Lodge ★★★★★

"Come for the safari. Remember the people. We were a family of five – my dad, my father-in-law, my wife, my son and myself – and flew into Madikwe by prop plane after spending the previous night in Johannesburg. From the moment we landed, the experience started. We were met at the airstrip by Sebastian, who would also be our ranger throughout our stay. What was supposed to be our transfer to Impodimo very quickly became our first mini game drive! When we arrived at the lodge, we were given the usual briefing – meals, timings, game drives, etc. Then came one instruction that we didn’t quite understand: At night, you cannot walk between your room and the main lodge without being accompanied by a ranger. It didn’t take long for us to understand why. Shortly afterwards, while Sebastian was accompanying us to our room, our path was blocked by an elephant. Welcome to Madikwe! 😂 Impodimo sits along a route used by elephants travelling up and down towards the waterhole. So yes, you can quite literally have elephants wandering past the lodge. It is an incredible experience, especially for kids, but also a reminder that you are very much a guest in their home. ~ THE SAFARI ~ Sebastian was our dedicated ranger and Mpo our tracker, and having both of them with us on every game drive was fantastic. For anyone going on their first safari, there is something important to understand: This isn’t a zoo. The animals aren’t sitting around waiting for your vehicle to arrive. Nobody makes a phone call and asks the lions to come out. 😂 Madikwe is MASSIVE, and finding wildlife takes patience, experience and sometimes a fair amount of luck. So let your ranger and tracker do their jobs. Watching Sebastian and Mpo work was part of the experience itself. They read tracks, prints, broken vegetation and even dung to understand where animals had been, what direction they were moving and what they might be doing. You realise very quickly that what looks like absolutely nothing to you is giving them a whole bunch of information. And that knowledge comes from years of experience. One of the reasons we chose Madikwe was also the diversity of the landscape. As you drive through the reserve, the terrain changes significantly, which means you get to experience different animals within their natural habitats rather than simply ticking animals off a checklist. I’ll let the pictures do a better job of showing what Sebastian and Mpo managed to find for us. ~ THE LODGE ~ Impodimo itself is beautiful. The rooms are absolutely five-star, the setting is spectacular and the food was excellent – beautifully presented, delicious and easily at the standard you would expect from a luxury international hotel. But once again, the thing we will remember most wasn’t the room or even the food. It was the people. The entire team was warm, hospitable and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. And then my dad lost his camera lens. Not a lens somewhere inside the lodge. He had"

Motswiri Private Safari Lodge ★★★★★

"I am a first time safari goer but traveling nomad, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. The lodge is very secluded and accommodates 15-16 guests total. It was a very private experience, and we even had the game drives private for several of our days. While the watering hole is small, it was very active in June with elephants visiting daily and guests including buffalo, baboons,and a warthog, The beds are spacious and comfy. The food was excellent, and you won't go hungry. Breakfast is served at 900 AM after the morning game drive, lunch at 1400 before the 1500 game drive and then dinner around 1800. There are snacks and drinks (including alcohol) offered on the game drives and inside your room for free. They added special touches for anniversaries and birthdays. It was really a lovely vacation and experience. Be aware that the drive from the gate of the park to the resort is about 45 minutes to an hour in a sedan on a well-maintained dirt road if you self-drive."

Madikwe Safari Lodge ★★★★★

"Мы настоятельно рекомендуем лодж Lelapo. Охотничий заповедник (Madikwe) огромен и славится потрясающим разнообразием животных, прекрасными видами и восходами/закатами. Лодж превосходен. Номера просторные, с небольшими бассейнами, душем на открытом воздухе, каминами, кондиционером и отоплением, удобными кроватями, чистые и невероятно комфортные. На территории есть общий бассейн, тренажерные залы и спа. Водопой очень активный, а вид потрясающий. Малыши отлично проведут время, организовав множество мероприятий. Лодж работает без сбоев, еда разнообразная, обильная и превосходная. Постарайтесь остановиться на ночь во время BOMA, так как это особенный вечер под звездами. Весь персонал замечательный и делает все возможное, чтобы ваше пребывание было максимально комфортным. Эндрю, Балли, Фрэнк, Роб, Герти и многие другие. А самое главное… Митч был нашим сафари-водителем, он работает там уже девять лет и был великолепен. Это был замечательный отпуск, оставивший самые ценные воспоминания."

Tuningi Safari Lodge ★★★★★

"We recently stayed at Tuningi in early February this year. We were my Fiancée and my parents . Our stay at Tuningi Safari Lodge in Madikwe Game Reserve was nothing short of extraordinary. We booked the family suite, which was absolutely amazing, complete with its own private pool — pure luxury and comfort. This was my parents’ first safari, and it was so important to us that they experienced safari at its very best. Tuningi exceeded every expectation. The timing of our visit was perfect, and the wildlife sightings did not disappoint. We would give more than 100% if we could! Everything was exceptionally clean, and the suite was beautifully equipped with a well-stocked bar and every comfort you could possibly need. The main lodge pool was a highlight — the staff would bring drinks directly to you while you watched animals gathering at the nearby watering hole. It was surreal to witness wildlife activity while relaxing in the pool. The hide was another fantastic feature, allowing us to observe animals safely and up close, watching their natural behaviours undisturbed. The food was truly Michelin-standard — every single meal was exquisite, with not one disappointment. The braai evening was especially memorable, made even more special by the outstanding staff and their beautiful choir performance. We had the pleasure of meeting the chef, whose passion, care, and dedication to perfection were evident in every dish. A special thank you to Heidi and Gavin, who made our experience even more enjoyable. Gavin was incredibly determined to ensure we had amazing sightings, and seeing the cheetah brothers coalition was an unforgettable highlight! What truly sets Tuningi apart is the personal touch. The warmth, attention, and genuine care from every staff member made this experience unique compared to other lodges. We felt completely looked after from start to finish. We will absolutely return. Thank you to the entire team for making our time in Madikwe so memorable and unforgettable"
